Excluded are those females who have given birth prior to the current birth or who did not meet the selection criteria.

A non-instrumental vaginal birth is one in which the baby is born through the vagina without the assistance of instruments (vacuum or forceps). |

Comments: | Data elements are from the Perinatal National Minimum Data Set (NMDS) or have been provided as voluntary non-standardised items by the states and territories. Records with data that are missing, not stated or not interpretable have been excluded from the denominator. For Tasmania prior to 2012, presentations via caesarean births were not reported by hospitals still using paper-based forms. Where a caesarean section occurred the presentation was recorded as 'Not stated'. Presentations via caesarean births was included in the paper-based form from 1 January 2013. As a result, Tasmania can only be reported 2013 onwards for selected females. Data for parity, a criteria to selected females, were not available from Victoria in 2009. Source of definition: Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) Indicator 1.1: Selected women giving birth for the first time who have a spontaneous vaginal birth. The ACHS defines a spontaneous vaginal birth as a vaginal birth, regardless of onset of labour, which is not assisted by forceps or vacuum and is not a vaginal breech delivery. This ACHS indicator is based on the definition by Women's Healthcare Australasia Core Maternity Indicators Project (WHA 2007). |
